| By Robert Fletcher
Pennsylvania set a series of new gambling revenue records during the 2022-23 fiscal year, while the state also reported year-on-year growth in June.
Total gambling revenue in 2022-23 reached $5.51bn, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). This was an all-time high for the state, beating the previous record of $5.04bn set in 2021-22 by 10.0%.
Retail slots were the main source of revenue by some margin. The $2.45bn generated was 1.7% ahead of last year and the second-highest annual total in history, behind $2.48bn in 2011-12.
However, land-based table games revenue slipped 4.1% year-on-year to $974.0m.
